Recent Viewing

1. How to Train Your Dragon. Surprisingly enjoyable, especially after mnemex told me not to think of the "vikings" as actual vikings, just as folks who liked to dress like vikings.

2. X-Men: First Class. This was a lot of fun. The 1960s setting makes so much suddenly make sense! Not perfect, but fun.

3. The Sorcerer's Apprentice. We wanted to watch something that I'd consider light enough. That meant Toy Story 3 was Right Out. Doctor Who and Torchwood (from several years back) aren't light enough in the right way. But this? This was fun. By the numbers, sure, but it managed to avoid some annoying things I've seen in other movies.
